The coffee was good and the location is great when walking around downtown Vancouver area. They have some indoor seating in their small space, perfect for coffee with a friend, but not all the friends. We stopped by during Pokemon weekend so the small space was packed with people, but not everyone was getting coffee. The service was friendly, but not very fast honestly I think they were overwhelmed by the turnout and weren't staffed for it. read more

Amazing that the owner does it all! Counter, cook and coffee. She's also really kind and gets things done as quickly as one person is able. Lots of small tables and some soft seating too. Loads of wonderful local art in the walls, shelf of games and Saturdays there's a group of folks who gather to draw in sketchbooks or found card board or?? So fun! read more

my partner and i stopped in here for the first time because our usual place was unexpectedly closed. thank god it was! metallion cafe immediately has become my new favorite. we were also STARVED and most cafes close around 3pm down here, and if they aren't already closed, they have little to no food options. we ordered a couple teas and some grilled cheese sandos WITH THE SOUP. the prices were reasonable and the food was tasty!! the gal taking our order and making our drinks was very kind and dressed very whimsical, matching the vibe of the cafe perfectly. the ambiance here was what sold me - this place brings back so much nostalgia for what cafes used to be. i personally am tired of the psych ward white colored walls and cool lighting in nearly every single coffee shop. i'm also tired of righteous people and fast paced coffee where the standard is to order your drink, receive it within 30 seconds, and leave. here at metallion, i felt at home, and it is obvious that the rest of the customers there did as well. this is the type of place where they encourage you to stay a while, with shelves of board games, books, and featured local artists. i will be back!!! read more

Was visiting Vancouver and walked all the way here from my Airbnb for coffee only to find a note on the door saying they are opening 30 minutes late. read more

Charming little hole in the wall. The owner is the only employee. She takes your order and then cooks your food, so be prepared to wait. Salads are pretty good. Just a great place to go and hang out. read more

This is now a cafe and worth revisiting after the ownership change! The new menu is solid. The curry coffee is still there and the charm is 100x! read more

I absolutely love Metallion Cafe --the food, coffee, tea, people, service, and its relaxing and cozy atmosphere. It's a great place for my husband and I to stop for for the best cup of coffee around. My kids enjoy dining with us and Grandpa here every week. It's just the perfect family-friendly spot to have dinner, play a board game & spend quality time together while supporting a local, Uptown Village small business. read more

Mon Ami is amazing! I am in love with the menu change; it's all vegetarian and/or vegan, and homemade to boot. The grilled cheese and tomato soup are incredible. The whole shop has a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Game and craft nights, board games, books, and great music, as well as a wonderful owner who runs the whole place. Such a wonderful place to enjoy a morning or afternoon. read more

Metallion cafe - My tasty lunch! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I have only wonderful things to say about this adorable little café. I discovered it through a friend group who gathers weekly to work on their crafts together. This adorable and eclectic space is a wonderful little hang out. I love that she has specific nights of the week for activities, such as chess, crafting, etc. The Stumptown coffee, the grilled cheese sandwiches, and the salads all bring delight to the table, literally and figuratively. The owner, Rachel, is a delight, and it's obvious that she has a lot of pride in her little café. I only wish that my entire video would fit instead of just 12 seconds. But if you visit the Mon Ami Instagram page, you will see it. read more

Great coffee, tea and ambiance as well as excellent service and local art on the walls.

Cute little coffee shop in a quaint part of town. Had a get together here with about 10 people and everyone found something they enjoyed. Really great service that was quick without feeling rushed. read more

We love this little café! A smattering of art and color and good energy all smooshed together to create an eclectic, down-to-earth, vintage vibe that makes me never want to leave. The owner is wonderful, and the coffee, tea, and vegan chili are great too! read more

My favorite coffee shop in Vancouver! The Stumptown coffee is always great and the owner, Rachel, is so friendly and welcoming. I love the homemade lentil soup and the Caprese sandwiches are my favorite. It's kid very kid-friendly with a large assortment of coloring books, toys and games to keep little ones occupied (plus doughnuts which are always a hit). It's a very creative and welcoming space as well - lots of community art and craft gatherings for all to participate in. Metallion is an all-around great neighborhood gathering place. read more

I am very disappointed to stop in here today only to find out crepes are no longer on the menu. This was the draw for coming here. And they have no intention of bringing them back! Nothing on the menus shown online revealed this. Crowded, hot, and loud inside. I just don't know that I will return. read more

Amazing coffee and even better customer service. The cafe has a relaxing vibe with room to bring laptop, book, or board game of you plan to hang out a bit. I highly recommend Mon Ami. read more

Came to Mon Ami for the first time on an overcast Spring Wednesday at noon with a friend. We found Mon Ami after looking for local Vancouver coffee shops and setting our sights here for the cute vibe. Parking was a breeze with almost every street spot available. Pay at the Kitty parking meters or online via the Kitty parking app. The door was open and there was one couple already inside. They serve both coffee and tea as well as a small assortment of baked goods. The specialties they serve are cute and had me wanting multiple items! Luckily (?) they were out of an item so I opted for my second choice, a Chik-o-stick latte while my friend got a London Fog pot of tea. Decor: Adorable and eclectic. The chairs are all different, the light fixtures are mismatched, there's plants everywhere (that could use a touch of water), and there's art of David Bowie, Betty Paige, and Falcor. I sat on a couch. I love the vibe! The person who took our orders was lovely and pleasant. Such a great experience. Even our cups were different. I loved that it felt like being in someone's home. Chick-o-stick coffee: Ya'll. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am a hummingbird-person. I eat things that are way too sweet for human consumption. And I *love* this drink. Holy moley, PB syrup and maybe honey? I don't know but this was an oddly fantastic combo of flavors that had me raving. The coffee was full bodied and medium-dark, which balanced out the sugars as much as a drink could. The foam on top had a lovely leaf pattern too!! Skillfully made and delicious. London fog pot: Looked delicious and milky! My friend commented it was a full bodied flavor and the lavender was just right, which is sometimes a hit or miss on London Fog! Really cute China pot, saucer, and cup. 10/10 will come back. Is the knitting and chess still on?? The sign was up and I don't know how to do either, but Mon Ami I might just try. read more

Oh my goodness!! So yummy! I couldn't decide what flavor of Crepes I wanted so.... I got two different kinds! And they were huge. Haha very soft and sweet. I got the Elvis & the Nutella with Banana. Quick acting and kind employees. I will be back! :) read more

Sheryle and I have come twice now. The first time I didn't leave a review because we actually decided to do something else that day, but this is a really great place and if you like crepes I highly recommend it. They don't have a plethora of options, but there is definitely a good selection for you, they have good drinks, and especially good coffee. I really think that you won't be dissatisfied at all. read more

Love the artsy '90s vibe. Coffee options include the usual suspects plus a variety of unusual lattes. Tried the coconut curry latte a year or two ago as a self-dare thinking I'd hate it - it's actually great, especially with a chocolate donut. read more

This is a gem in Vancouver, especially for a step away from your traditional breakfast options. Espresso drinks with a sweet or savory crepe sounds like a win to me! Gluten free batter as well! The savory one we got was the Turkey, Cheddar, and Tomato , which came with a side of greens. This was incredible. I only took a bite since it wasn't mine, but I could have had 3! So good and melty. Then I chose the Peanut Butter, banana, cinnamon, and honey, all of my favorite things. This was ridiculously good. The peanut butter was melted and creamy, and the honey aroma was blowing my mind. Best combination known to mankind wrapped in a warm dough blanket. Say no, I dare you. I will become a regular to this place, since we have nothing like it. Not only because of its crepe menu, but even the atmosphere is cute and unique! read more

I love this little coffee shop. It's bright and cheerful. It's a cozy place to hang out on a rainy day. The espresso is good and there are lots of other drink options there. The cafe serves salads and chili. If you're looking for a fancy lunch go elsewhere, but if you're looking for a place to enjoy a coffee and chill with a book or a friend or do some work this is an ideal place. read more

Really good tomatoes soup with grill cheese, salad and smoothies! Great little cafe in downtown Vancouver. I highly recommend it!

If you are looking for a place to relax, read a book, or catch up with friends, then Mon Ami is the perfect coffee shop for you. It has been my go to for years. The menu has changed to vegetarian options and they are all delicious. My favorites are the grilled cheese sandwitches, tomato soup and the chilli. If you get tired of your phone being your only source of entertainment, perfect... they have board games, books, and great art to enjoy. The atmosphere is super cozy, with a laid back chill vibe, and the service is always great!! So if you wanna grab a coffee, and a pastry or enjoy a soup and a sandwich, it is the perfect place to go!!!! read more

Nooooo crepes! They apparently changed their menu a year ago, very lunch focused (chili, sandwiches) but they do have some toast and yogurt breakfast options. And apparently the fact they have STUMPTOWN coffee is a big selling point! read more

I loved their crepes. It's a shame they got rid of them and replaced them with a salad. It's not the same without them.

Great little coffee shop with local art. Perfect for enjoying a warm drink and conversation.

Feels like it's under new management because while it's similarly decorated the vibe is ALL off. Wondering if it was bought by an out of towner. I know the crepes were a PITA, but I went here for the crepes. RIP. read more

Good year round! This is one of my favorite cafes in the Portland/Vancouver area. The staff is always friendly and I the crepes and drinks are very flavorful. I like that they let you make substitutions to your crepes ( ex. Using white or wheat batter or changing your cheeses). I cannot recommend the matcha green tea latte enough it is my all time favorite and it comes with foam art! read more

Mon Ami is the freakin best. Always delicious with interesting flavor combinations as well as classic options. They also offer a broad selection of coffee, teas and boozy drinks It's also hella cozy and comfortable. Perfect place to hunker down alone with a book or play cards with friends. read more

Mon Ami is a great local spot - and I mean that in every sense of the word. Vancouver and Portland have gone through a lot of changes (some good, some bad), but Mon Ami is a perfect example of a Pacific NW coffee and brunch place. First off, they have great coffee: the usual standbys (lattes, cappuccinos, cortados, etc.) plus fun flavors to try (like coconut curry and chic-o-stic). The crepes are XL and perfect for brunch with a friend or a quick lunch. Second, the walls are covered with photos, paintings, and other creations from local artists. The aesthetic is: stuff we like made by people we like. You can also buy locally-made cards and gifts. Last but not least, the vibe is great. The staff is super nice and fun to talk to, and (unlike other places) Mon Ami the kind of place you want to hang out. Other coffee shops nearby are kinda echo-y and loud, or have benches instead of chairs (I like back support, what can I say?). I grew up in Vancouver and went to college in Portland. Mon Ami is what a community coffee shop used to be. It's hard for me to put into words other than: If you've only been to over-priced espresso joints with white walls and blonde wood decor, then you've never been to a real Pacific NW coffee shop. Give Mon Ami a try. read more

Good coffee. They stopped serving crepes during the pandemic (I think). If you're looking for crepes in Vancouver go to the European deli next to Total Wine, Vancouver Mall area. read more

Whoever was working today must really enjoy making people feel stupid because when you look this place up online, they say they sell crapes yet when I went to order one she felt like it was needed to tell me that they stop serving crapes three years ago. So I told her online it shows they seek them and she looked at me like I was so dumb and said "yea there's things we cannot take off the internet"!! Ummmm ok well please don't make the same "mistake" I made read more

I loved the crepes and I had a chic o stick latte that I would drive back for. I also loved the vibe. read more

Mon amour and me ventured in to Mon Ami for a Sunday Crepe Breakfast and a couple Lattes. The small coffee shop was busy, but we were able to sit at a small table after just a 5-minute wait. Like most coffee cafes you order at the counter. Her crepe du jour was a Nutella Banana Crepe while I sampled a Honey Cinnamon Banana Crepe. Both were classic thin sweet crepes with light filling and toppings. Both were also just kind of ok ... hence the a-ok 3 stars overall. At last minute, I switched to a Chai Tea, but did get to taste mon amour's Latte. Both were fine ... and finished before the crepes arrived. No worries since there is free self-serve water available. I definitely didn't hate Mon Ami. I can't say I really love it either. Mon Ami is a viable option when seeking a casual coffee shop and creperie in downtown Vancouver, WA. read more

GF options: Yes! They offer a tasty crepe made with Bob's Red Mill flour. Bathrooms: Non-gendered single occupancy This is a cute little shop, and all the better because it's located in Vancouver. if you believe good things don't happen on this side of the water, come by Mon Ami, order some coffee, have a crepe, and check out the art on the walls. You'll be right at home. read more

My love and I went for a late lunch and are very pleased with the results. His creamy smoked salmon on a buckwheat crepe was wonderful. My French club with brie, turkey, and Apricot jam was yummy. The little field green salad with vinegrette was good to cut the richness. I had a Honey, Almond, Cinnamon Latte with half the almond syrup and it was scrumptious. We'll be back and bring our friends. read more
